As far as my personal life is concerned, I honestly don't think I'm going to 'build and deploy' anything to any SaaS that isn't directly in my control for a while.

The burden of proof lies on those who say it exists, not the other way around.
I forget that the punishment for obstruction is on-the-spot public execution by a trained officer.
I for one would find it far more acceptable if the people carrying out the deportations would be a little less "shoot U.S. civilians in the face for not listening" about it.
Sounds like the best way to sell an OK product.

We are not. These are embryo-like structures. Not actual human embryos.

For the record, your website starts out "Our website has no flashy buttons, fancy graphics, eye-catching JavaScript animations, or stock photos with grinning people, and that is by design" and then your website goes on to have every single one of those things.

This seems like a recurring theme in todays world.

Thank you for this. Its lovely to be reminded that a lot of us share some the same ups and downs whatever we're doing.
Interesting project, but the custom scroll behavior on the site is obnoxious. It makes navigating the site more difficult than it should be. Might be something to reconsider.

The irony in complaining about the guidelines, while dismissing the very last item. Classic.

Using current technology we could probably make an object go faster than that so yes, it would be able to catch up.

However, we'd probably just put better instruments on this new object and make that the priority.

Run it through an LLM and see if it gets the disease?
I attempted to build flight control software for a quadcopter[1]. I had a few major life changes around this time and it got packed up and I stopped working on it before I got the PID controllers worked out. But I essentially wrote a small game engine and had to learn a little calculus along the way.

Can ChatGPT predict all future world events and all the overall reactions to them? I'd easily pay $5 a month for that service.
Legitimate only means that the :rules: were followed and nothing more. It does not mean that the rules or the system they reside in are just.
Its hilarious that on the 3rd line they say "quality software is important to us..."; and immediately following is jquery soup.

It is unknowable at the current time. It has only been available for a few hours. I dont imagine anyone has yet had a chance to sort through this.

Several offerings would likely pop up in an attempt to fill the vacuum. It would take months to years for one to clearly come out on top.
> VR headsets

The actual headset itself is just the vehicle. Its general use of a virtual reality thats got me excited.

Right now we use all sorts of things to beam information into our faces. Mostly pixels from a screen (monitors, phones, VR headsets). I sincerely think the hardware thats going to knock it out of the park is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_retinal_display

Imagine if you didnt actually have monitors, you just had a 3d space being projected into your eyes and everywhere you looked could be a space you could put something that would have otherwise been on a monitor.

You could have windows moving around in an Augmented-Reality style, and running a video game in "fullscreen" becomes a full VR.

Re:Laravel 9 on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @12:55PM (#30261842)
> Why should I consider Laravel

If you work on all those projects alone, and you're happy doing this, you probably wouldn't. You aren't the target market for a framework like this.

Laravel (and any good framework, really) is for people who want a consistent dev experience _with good documentation_.
